I have 2 prize winner hybrid plants from Home Depot that mentioned in the "will this work?" thread the other day. The two that I have started to allow to grow on these plants in addition to the originals are @ day 10 & 11c and tape out more than the originals did on day 16. Should I just slowly cut the original 2 off that have not gained in a while and see how I make out. If I cut the new ones off at the end of Sept, the will just be slightly younger than the originals, but they are already larger. I can keep the originals cool in my garage, it stays aorund 60-65 in there and if I put the in the closet in the back, it will be a little cooler since that stays closed all the time. Just searching for ideas. Any input is appreciated.

I think I am going to go for it pap. Will probably start cutting tomorrow a little at a time for three or for days until they are removed (i read that pointer here earlier in the season)to avoid a mass rush of nutrition to the fruit. Hopefully it goes as planned. I am sure that if I have a catostrophic failure it will be vented on BP. I find that to be a good release for me as well as a future lesson to next years rookies to not make the same mistake, if it turns out to be a mistake.
